Will Myers Shares a Lesson on the Basics of Woodturning for Woodworkers

In the above video Will Myers teaches the basics of woodturning for woodworkers. He starts by showing how to prepare and center the wood, then discusses woodturning tools & parts of the lathe. And finally he begins roughing out a spindle for a classic cherry shaker candle table. This tutorial comes from the class and DVD: “Building the Hancock Shaker Candle Stand with Will Myers“. If you’d like to build this historical candle stand along side Will Myers, you can register here for the upcoming 3 day class at my school. It will be held Thursday – Saturday, May 10th-12th, 2018 in Earlysville, Virginia.

I enjoyed the video with the exception of a safety concern.

If I had used a lathe in shop class with my sleeves rolled back like that I would have gotten an earful. Loose clothing around rotating machinery can be disastrous. If you are selling videos to beginners then please err on the side of caution with respect to safety.
